python/svn issues....

[bruce]

hi...

in trying to get viewcvs up/running, i tried to do the following:

[root@lserver2 viewcvs-0.9.2]# python
Python 2.3.3 (#1, May 7 2004, 10:31:40)
[GCC 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File

/libsvn/fs.py", line 4, in ?
ImportError: /usr/lib/libsvn_fs_base-1.so.0: undefined symbol: db_create------------------------------------------------------------

the undefined symbol is obviously a deal breaker!!!

so, i'm trying to figure out what's going wrong...

i'm not sure if this is a python/svn error...

i'm on fedora core 2,
viewcvs from sourceforge.cvs
subversion-1.1.4-0.1.1.fc2 from dag repos (devel/perl)
db4-4.2.52-6

google turned up a few instances of this, but no solution.. any ideas as to
what's occuring...

thanks

This looks like a problem when Subversion was built: this library was
not linked against the Berkeley DB libraries.

You can check what's linked using ldd, and see the unresolved symbols
with ldd -r. For instance, on my AMD64 Debian system,

$ ldd -r /usr/lib/libsvn_fs_base-1.so.0

If it doesn't look like that, then I'd say your Subversion package was
built badly. You may also want to run ldd on your svn binary, to see what
libraries it pulls in.
